Can't make it? No problem - he'll invite someone else.

The other squads don't understand how hard you work to make your school look good.

Whether you play football, play an instrument or are a cheerleader, you work your tail off during summer practice. However, members of the other two groups sometimes secretly think you're group has it easy and don't recognize the amount of dedication it takes to make the final football product a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Your school clothes won’t fit by October.

All the exercise and sweating will bulk you up or slim you down, depending on your body type, which will make your parents rip their remaining hairs out in financial agony when they need to go buy you all new jeans and shirts.

There are way too many jock strap and bloomers jokes floating around.

Members of the opposite sex will never understand the humor in them, but they still laugh when they see them.

Boot camp conditions.

The pressure is way too high.

Whether you're a football player, a member of the marching band or a cheerleader, all anyone wants to talk about is "state." Don't leg out your final sprint? "You're never going to win state."
